Reach for this book if your teen is struggling with the weight of perfectionism, intense sibling rivalry, or the suffocating feeling of small-town expectations. It is a sharp, atmospheric thriller that explores how the pressure to succeed can drive young women to their breaking point. Through the eyes of sisters Stella and Ellie, the story tackles themes of female anger, the toxicity of competitive sports, and the complicated ways we protect those we love. While it is a page-turning mystery, it serves as a vital mirror for teens navigating high-stakes environments where they feel they are only as good as their last win. Parents should be aware of the mature themes, including drinking and intense academic and athletic stress, making it most suitable for high school readers.
